I interviewed the Labour MP for Great Grimsby, Melanie Onn, on 24/10/2019. She was among the 19 Labour Party rebels to vote for Boris Johnson’s Withdrawal Agreement at Second Reading that week - she told me why she did it.
Interview with Stephen Lloyd MP, who after quitting the Liberal Democrats in 2018 to vote for Theresa May’s Brexit deal, announced he planned to stand for the party once again in the 2019 General Election.
Interview with Anne Milton MP, who after having the Conservative whip withdrawn in September 2019, announced in November she had decided to stand as an Independent in her Guildford constituency in the 2019 election. She had been given the option of appealing the decision to remove the whip.
